Because he's following up a big season with a huge let down of a season and he's done it before, and then the coaches before him did the same exact thing. For whatever reason, they can't build on successes here. They don't know how.
It would be one thing to go from 13-3 down to 10-6 and a wildcard entrance. But to go from 13-3 to .500 or worse? And it's not the first time.
I do believe it is the combo of GM/coach. Maybe the coach would improve if there was a different GM. Not sure.
But this team followed up 2009 with an offseason of not improving the Oline. 2010 happened. 12-4 to 6-10
2012 to 2013. 10-6 to 5-10-1
2015 to 2016 11-5 to 8-8 Zimmer
2017 to 2018 13-3 to currently 6-6-1 Zimmer
